Letter to the editor: Regents were right not to discipline Mason

University of Iowa President Sally Mason spoke to the Board or Regents.

The Iowa Board of Regents came to the proper decision not to censure President Sally Mason for some alleged inappropriate language regarding sexual assaults.

Sadly, the American academic institutions are a place that rigidly enforces conformity of thought and restricts true diversity of opinion and discussion. I doubt if the outcome would have been the same were Mason a man. Just look at Larry Summers, then the Harvard University president, 2005.
